drrockso20 posted:I imagine it comes down to Fire Emblem honestly being over represented in the game, I'd have to double check but I'm pretty sure it has the most characters of any franchise in the game(since for some weird reason Smash counts Yoshi, Wario, and the Donkey Kong characters as all being separate from the Mario franchise), so a lot of people feel that a large chunk of the slots that Fire Emblem characters occupy could have been given to more interesting characters from other franchises(especially for characters that are stuck as either Assist Trophies or Mii Fighter costumes), especially when it comes to characters one has to pay for https://twitter.com/TheofficialJugg/status/1217835761216708609 As for Yoshi/Wario/Donkey Kong those are all characters with their own game lines. Donkey Kong first showed up before Mario was Mario. Wario first showed up in a Mario Game Boy game and now has two game lines of his own. Yoshi also have their own game line.

I just found out my dad, who I've known for years to be a prevalent historical writer and the like as a side gig, is apparently writing for a fairly notable tabletop gaming magazine/newsletter by a tabletop games publisher (Against The Odds) and I'm not sure how to cope with that. Like, I've known he enjoys strategy games (hell we had Starcraft/AoE2 LANs between himself, my brother, and I for years) and the like but just seeing him still doing it at his age is so confusing. Then again he also was hired by Microsoft to write SQL Server tech manuals in the 2000s that a CTO at a former company I worked at recognized my last name from (which was equally weird).

Ha, that's cool. You can rest easy in that almost whatever you do, your dad's a bigger nerd than you are. Freakin' dads, am I right? I recently found out my dad has been officially retired for like three years and he never bothered to tell me or my brother. It doesn't help that he still continues to do freelance stuff (software localization which means he can work from home). Also that time he called me and said "hey son come have soup tonight, [long-time girlfriend] and I just got married". Anyway, I've been enjoying Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. It's very charming, the battles (of which there are a lot...) are quick, the fight system isn't your old stiff as hell JRPG fare and is pretty interesting, with a decent dash of Pokemon thrown in there. Also, unrelated to either topic: I swear one of these days I'm going to loving die when I see people type "vwala"/"wa-lah"/any of its awful incorrect versions when they mean to type "voilá" too many times on the internet. Jesus christ help me

-Had to make the decision to euthanize our dog a few weeks ago. Despite her being old and getting far more arthritic, deaf and being sick from the beginnings of probable stomach cancer in the last 12 months, it didn't make it any easier to bear witness to the procedure. Have never shed a tear at any funeral, but could not hold them back for this. Bought a puppy weeks beforehand who was in constant lonely sulk and cry mode afterwards, which guilted me enough to get another. Now I have two heeler (cattle dog) pups eating my shoes and putting on five star classics inside and outside the house. -Contrary to the pissing and moaning I've seen online from alleged Yakuza/RGG 'fans', I'm very stoked with the direction the new installment is going. As someone who's been on board since the original PS2 release, it's nice to have turn-based rpg style battles. Now I might actually start enjoying boss fights again, instead of spamming Tiger Drops and evade dashing. FullMetalJackoff fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Jan 18, 2020 |

Sorry about your dog, buddy  I know you already know and it still doesn't make it any easier, but you did absolutely the right thing not making an animal you loved suffer through misery and pain just so you could have a few more weeks/months of having them around. Good luck with the puppies!

Everything I've seen makes it look like one of the most incredible games ever made, I can't wait to play it. But I'll have to, because Sega are cowards and haven't brought out the 3-5 remasters on PC yet. Or 6 on PC. Or Judgment on PC.

I’m a grown rear end man and I pay my taxes and eat rare steak and I cried like a baby when we had to put my dog down. Your dog depended on you and you took care of them; you did good. I am really sorry; that sucks.

I am so obscenely obsessed with these games. Playing Judgement at the moment and it's been hard to find time to watch wrestling because any chance I get for free time in the evening I want to play Judgement and just end up wandering Kamurocho without purpose.

why didn't they make that "ha-ah-ah-ah-aaaaaah" part of the chorus in yes or yes? it's the catchiest part and really ties it all together but it only happens once in the song, the first time the chorus is performed. Really a disappointment

i'm six months sober today. to be honest i still hate it as much as i did the first day, and i still resent that i can't get drunk anymore but i assume someday I will feel good about this decision. I literally watch the Eddie Guerrero promo on addiction weekly and it has probably saved my life.

It is pretty rough and you'll hate everything about it sometimes.I'm kinda hosed up so I'm learning to treasure those moments complete and total loathing.

I’ve got eight years and change and it’s the best decision I ever made. I’m a happier, healthier person and the people in my life know they can depend on me. Six months for me was the point where I could start looking back on months previous and see how my thinking had changed. Like, I noticed a sharp difference in just the basic clarity and quality of my thoughts and actions between 0-1, 1-2, 3-6, etc.

Felt a pang of nostalgia and so decided to watch some old 1970s sitcoms, namely the classic Mary Tyler Moore Show, and I have the following observations: 1. While Mary was certainly attractive, it is interesting how at the start, the show took both Valerie Harper and Cloris Leachman--two very attractive women in their own right at the time--and tried to dress them down so they wouldn't "compete" with MTM (Harper's Rhoda was initially much frumpier, and Leachman's Phyllis was more prissy) 2. Ted Knight as Ted Baxter was a goddamn national treasure 3. Ditto Ed Asner as Lou Grant Continuing the wave of nostalgia, I'm now starting a run of Space: 1999 (a show that I don't ever remember watching as a kid, despite actually owning some toys from it back in the day).

And then lost all connected friends over the resulting lawsuit / fact she gave up drinking in the aftermath. She balked at suing the woman regardless of her bloody injuries but I was like "friend, your son almost didn't have a mom over another person's decisions, maybe its time to get mad?"

The only reasons I haven't bought any on PC is because I've been buying and thrashing the games the week they launch on PS4. I traded my console in for the marginally less lovely PS4 Pro, just so I can play Yakuza 6 at a decent framerate (then Kiwami 1/2 afterwards). I've held off on Judgment in the hopes it would get a PC release by now, but SEGA are living up to the 'to be this good takes AGES' motto, by sitting on their hands instead! I'd buy them all again for PC if there was a way to convert my console saves.

So I'm closer still to my new laptop being set up but I'm noticing I'm typing at least a little bit slower. I'm hoping that that's just adjustment to the new machine and that the ergonomics to the keyboard aren't totally hosed compared to the old keyboard because boy howdy I like to be able to type things pretty quickly. I'll probably adjust, right? I mean, I used the other laptop for literally over ten years, there's probably going to be something of an adjustment period, or at least I'd like to think so.

Someone who switches laptops more often than I do would be able to speak better on this.

Someone who switches laptops more often than I do would be able to speak better on this. It can simply be the new keyboard's membranes are stiffer, or you don't like the mechanism, or the flexibility of the keyboard. Do you find it softer or less responsive? Harder to press down? The tactile feedback could be different and you're re-learning, again, muscle memory. Or you might prefer softer feedback and need wear in time. Inversely I type immensely slower on my thinkpad than my stupidly expensive desktop keyboard simply because the keys are better. Some keyboards are just worse.

Spiderdrake posted:I went through three different laptops in 2018. Then I spilled tea on this one, and sent it back to lenovo which involved replacing the keyboard, which changed the feel yet again! Unless you're having trouble with coordination (typing into the wrong keys, pausing to find your place) it may not be your muscle memory, but that kind of millisecond task assignment is super sensitive and you may not even notice. I'm absolutely having some coordination issues. It's a ThinkPad but it's a P53 Workstation so it's the nicest you can get in a laptop, pretty much. If I'm being honest I think it's 95%+ momentary coordination issues because it doesn't feel remotely worse than the other machine did once I get into the actual flow of the typing, if that makes sense. I'm also generally tired as gently caress mentally and moderately tired physically, plus I'm probably being hypervigilant in the sense that I'm looking for things that are different or "wrong" because I'm nervous about that being the case. I quite like the feel of the keys, so I know that's not the issue. It is a bit more spread out in terms of layout, but I think that's something that, if it is slowing me down to any great degree, I'll probably learn to compensate for in time (I'm a two-finger typist because cerebral palsy isn't conducive to ten finger typing).

I'm having a lot of fun with the new dragon ball game. It's got lots of mindless collecting and side quests which is a plus for me, and the semi open worlds are well designed with interesting little things to look at. I think anyone with nostalgia for dragon ball would like it, my only complaint is it glosses over a lot of the more detailed elements of the story, I don't imagine someone who isn't already familiar with the beats would see the story as coherent at all.

I saw it had come out, it looks cool but I was leery since almost all the DBZ/One Piece games etc just seem to be one-on-one fighters that largely just repeat cutscenes from the anime only this time in whatever the game engine is. Open world/collecting is something I usually enjoy, but does it have any deal depth to the gameplay? Edit: What I REALLY want is for somebody to make a game exactly like Assassin's Creed Odyssey, only it's One Piece.
